Tip Regulations Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA); Restoration of Regulatory Language

概要

On October 29, 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor (Department) published a final rule (2021 Dual Jobs Rule) addressing the determination of when a tipped employee is employed in dual jobs under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA or the Act). The 2021 Dual Jobs Rule took effect on December 28, 2021.On October 29, 2024, a federal appeals court issued an order vacating regulatory text from the Department's 2021 Dual Jobs Rule, with the effect of reinstating the Department's original FLSA regulation on the topic. In accordance with that court order, the Department is issuing this final rule to remove from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) the corresponding regulatory text that the Department promulgated through the 2021 Dual Jobs Rule and reinstate regulatory text as it existed in the CFR prior to the effective date of the 2021 Dual Jobs Rule. This action is a technical amendment accounting for changes in the law which have already occurred.
